158th Philosophical Time

"What is the time?"

"Time in the popular sense of low-level civilization is actually a relative concept."

"Think about how low-level civilizations measure time, right, the natural phenomenon of sunrise and sunset originally produced by the movement of stars, is the movement of stars absolute? Apparently not. Later, time is defined by the energy step transition of the atomic ground state, is the energy step transition of the atomic ground state absolute? Apparently not. From the first level of civilization to the fourth level of civilization, intelligent life continues to adopt more precise new science and technology to define time, but unfortunately, none of these technologies can transcend the universe and exist independently, and none of them are time in the absolute sense. The concept of time in a low-order civilization is like a complex system of motion with many variables, one of which is used to describe the others. It is precisely because time depends on the definition of the internal variables of the system, and the reference object cannot transcend the dimension and the universe, which derives incomprehensible natural phenomena such as the upper limit of the speed of light. ”

"Returning to the original meaning of time, it is an abstract concept in the philosophical sense, it is a measure of the course of events and the order in which they occur. Philosophically speaking, there is never a rebirth event that travels through the future or the past, because time itself is order, and the order that changes is still order. A is sequential from A to B, and B travels back to point A, which physically seems to reverse time; Philosophically, it's just a matter of lengthening the sequence by one section, A to B and then teleporting to A. The paradox of time may change the physical order, but not the philosophical order. If we want to return to the original meaning of time, if we want to accurately measure the universe, the frame of reference must go beyond the universe, that is, the universe as a whole system of motion. The concept of time in the fifth-level civilization is this philosophical abstract time that externally observes the changes in the universe. Looking down on the universe from the outside, due to the curling and parallel overlapping of spatial folds, a closed motion loop may be formed locally by accident, resulting in the phenomenon of time travel in the popular sense of low-level civilizations. ”

"In the fifth-level civilization time concept, the phenomenon of time-space confusion is only a natural phenomenon caused by the partial closed operation of the large universe, and the overall motion system of the large universe is still always orderly and always forward."

"We can't change the abstract time in the philosophical sense, but we can change the material form of the universe. Just imagine, if there is a strong interference of external forces to trace the material form of the universe back to the state of 10,000 years ago, wouldn't it be artificially created a scene of rebirth without traveling through time. The philosophical abstract timeline moves forward, but the non-living matter and intelligent life in the universe suddenly go back to antiquity 100,000 years ago. The measurement of time in low-level civilizations cannot transcend the universe, and going back to the universe is equivalent to going back to time. If he consciously let go of some special intelligent beings and put their souls into the physical body of 100,000 years ago, wouldn't he actually experience a time travel? ”

"The essence of time retrospection is the retrospective of the universe, and we can use this retrospective to find our own trajectory or timeline. Extract the different periods of the timeline, carefully compare the key nodes of the gradual change of the soul, observe the evolution of the style of self-observation, and finally find out the suspicious soul structure and eliminate it. Obviously, this is a very, very stupid way to weed out suspicious structures, but there is nothing else we can do. ”

Yang Dian was dizzy by Dongfang Wei's long speech, and it took a long time before he asked a new question: "The characteristic of a fifth-level civilization is to create a large universe, and it can even trace the material form of the great universe back to 10,000 years ago?" ”

Dongfang Wei replied: "10,000 years is an approximate number, 100 million, 1 billion, 10 billion, even from the end of the universe to the beginning of the universe. ”

Yang Dian continued to ask, "A fifth-level civilization can perfectly control the big universe, and even control many big universes, right? ”

Dongfang Wei: "Yes. ”

Yang Dian: "In order to support the normal operation of the free mechanical plot world, the main god space was forced to close the rest of the small plot worlds? ”

Dongfang Wei nodded: "I said, the main god space may not be as powerful as you and I imagined." The reason why I am helpless about the main god space is that I am still receiving primary school education and seriously lack the necessary political rights; Second, the knowledge in my head cannot be quickly transformed into power. ”

Yang Dian: "In other words, the Tomorrow Empire is not afraid of the main god space?" ”

Dongfang Wei: "The power that the main god space is showing now, my empire tomorrow will crush it by 10 million every second." However, I can't be sure if there are other forces hidden behind the main god space, and if there is more powerful external help. And most importantly, is there really an empire of tomorrow? If the main god space can perfectly reproduce the Tomorrow Empire, its true strength will definitely far surpass the Tomorrow Empire. Fortunately, I attached a team of more than 100 reincarnations to track the 600 plot worlds, and then traveled through the large universe of the free mechanical plot world, and found no traces of the existence of other large universes. ”

Yang Dian suddenly realized: "You mean, you can't be sure if the Tomorrow Empire really exists?" ”

Dongfang Wei: "In terms of the ability shown by the main god space, it can't create the Empire of Tomorrow, or even an ordinary fifth-level civilization. Pessimistically, I thought that the memories of the Empire of Tomorrow in my soul imprint may be just the initial setting when the world of the Ladder of Heaven plot evolves. However, considering the way of information exchange of the fifth-level civilization, and considering the strange characteristics of the space where you are not inferior to the main god, the possibility of the Empire of Tomorrow is not impossible. Therefore, I request full cooperation with you to verify whether this great universe really has the Empire of Tomorrow. ”

Yang Dian was noncommittal, and instead smiled and said: "Your primary school education level is really high, and you know a lot. ”

Dongfang Weiwan smiled: "It is conceptual primary education, but it is not actually a primary school imagined by a low-level civilization. The intelligent life of the fifth-level civilization, almost everyone is immortal, the universe is annihilated and I am not dead. In this case, age is meaningless, a billion years old is no more erudite than a hundred million years old, and there is very little difference between ten billion years old and two billion years old. Let's just talk about me, the memories of the Tomorrow Empire, plus the reincarnation of more than 600 plot worlds, if calculated in Earth years, I am now 3.64 million years old. But what's the point? Pointless. I have experienced a million years of training in the main god space, and it is better to receive a hundred years of education in the Imperial Primary School. In fact, the Empire of Tomorrow has long since abolished the concept of age, and instead used the soul strength that integrates the concepts of academic experience, civilization vision, and ideological height as the reference standard for a new age. My soul strength is eleven, so I was assigned to elementary school for basic education; If I can raise my soul strength to thirteen, I can go to secondary school for further education. ”

Yang Dian instantly remembered the Golden Finger Crystal White Ball, and the Crystal White Ball also attached great importance to soul strength, and often took the trouble to remind Yang Dian of the value. When Yang Dian first arrived at the main god space, the soul strength value was already 13, and then it slowly rose to eighty or ninety. However, Yang Dian didn't feel that he was much stronger than Dongfang Wei, the soul strength value of the Crystal White Ball and the soul strength value of Dongfang Wei may come from two evaluation systems, just like different civilizations have different value standards.

After pondering for half an hour, Yang Dian asked Dongfang Wei tentatively: "What do you want me to do?" ”

Dongfang Wei: "Before I came to see you, I had visited the hometown of the Colorful Tiger Civilization to find the whereabouts of the literary tombstone and the natural tombstone, and the natural tombstone was easy to find, not the natural tombstone you kept in the private space, but the natural tombstone re-evolved from the free mechanical plot world." However, the accompanying literary tombstone is strangely impossible to find its whereabouts. Recalling the memory of the world of the Stairway to Heaven, the literary tombstone may have been accidentally captured by the Tomorrow Imperial Primary School in the world of free machine drama at this time. I suspect that the world of free machine drama has evolved into a new me. Considering that you have forced the main god space to close the rest of the plot world, I would like to ask you to return to the galaxy and wait for me to visit the earth in the free machine plot world, and when she travels through time and space to the moment she arrives on the earth, I immediately reverse trace the space-time coordinates of the Tomorrow Empire Primary School. ”

Dongfang Wei's purpose is very clear, that is, to use Yang Dian's special ability to track down the Tomorrow Empire in reverse.

In all fairness, Yang Dian didn't believe Dongfang Wei very much.

The collapse of the main god's space, the original intention of the mind lock, the time back, and the empire of tomorrow, there must be truth and falsehood. If Dongfang Wei is a frank person without any scheming, as early as in the Heavenly Ladder Plot World, she had a face-to-face conversation with Yang Dian. During the Staircase of Heaven plot world, Dongfang Wei secretly ordered the natural tombstone to break into the private space; Since then, he has been divided into thousands to monitor the movements of the reincarnation team of the Golden Wind Drizzle Building; The Romance of the Gods plot world has saved enough capital, and Dongfang Wei still trusts Tian Jun to his name. Looking back on Dongfang Wei's various actions, how do you ask Yang Dian to believe her?

Dongfang Wei talked about the collapse of the main god space to the empire of tomorrow, and there was a self-consistent logic between the long speeches. However, think about the attitude of the natural tombstone and Yang Dian's exchange, it is nine points true and one point false, and quietly hides from the mountains and seas, if it were not for Dongfang Wei taking the initiative to appear today, Yang Dian doesn't know when he will wake up to the fact that the natural tombstone is Dongfang Wei's pawn? Take a peek and know the whole picture, fall a leaf and know the autumn solstice, behind Dongfang Wei's eloquent talk, I am afraid there are countless deep pits.

Yang Dian doesn't fully believe in natural tombstones, and he won't believe Dongfang Wei today.

However, if you don't believe it, you don't believe it, and you still have to cooperate.

Yang Dian seemed to be happy to answer Dongfang Wei, and then put forward his own conditions: "I am inclined to the theory of tool leverage, and only the tools of knowledge transformation can form power." My private space has a very low level of development, and it needs a lot of external assistance from the technology tree. The technology tree of the Tiantang Empire, the technology tree of the Carbon-based Life Alliance, the technology tree of the Colorful Tiger Civilization, etc., and the technology tree of the advanced civilization of the free machine plot world, please help me copy a copy. ”

Dongfang Wei replied with some hesitation: "The technology tree of the third-level civilization is messy and full of errors, and the power of my soul imprint transformation is not enough to comprehensively suppress the fourth-level civilization of this great universe. In the end, the development of the technology tree is the same way, there is a natural tombstone of the colorful tiger civilization, and then the technology tree accumulation of your small universe should be able to rush to the upper limit of this large universe. ”
